Wedding hog roast in Crumbles, carved to order
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, salads and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater wedding breakfasts with sides and evening receptions.
Rural weddings around Crumbles have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.

For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
